Welcome!
This is an opportunity for virtual athletes to earn a HOT finisher's medal from our Inaugural HOT Run 5K & 10K, staged on September 19th.
Here is how our Virtual Run works:
1) Athletes register for the discounted fee of $20 (International athletes add $5. After all the direct expenses are paid (medal, postage, handling), 50% of the net proceeds will be provided to Starfish Support Foundation, Inc., our non-profit foundation created to lend support to other local non-profits.
2) It is super-simple for an athlete to earn their HOT finisher medal.
A) Run a 5K in one outing before Sunday, September 29 (yes, you can double-dip if running a different 5K race).
or
B) Complete a TOTAL of 10K (6.2 miles) in smaller increments. While we would prefer that you run a 5K in one outing, our primary goal is to get you moving and active, so if it takes you several sessions to complete 10K, that is fine with us.
3) Athletes will have a HOT Run bib number sent along with their finisher medal. We would LOVE it if you wear your bib number while you complete your virtual run and it would be even better if you have some photos taken and share them with us at the HOT Run Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/hot1015
4) This time period is extensive for two reasons: 1) athletes participating in other popular races can "double-dip" - earning extra bling for the same run; 2) this time-frame offers achievable goals for beginners who need consistency - perhaps we can provide some added motivation.
5) For the purposes of this virtual run, you may complete your mileage in one run or you can split it up over the 10 days - your choice. If that time span seems too easy, please remember our goals are to promote a healthy, active lifestyle AND to raise $$$ for local non-profits.
6) Please share your results, experience and photos at our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/hot1015.
Your results will NOT be recorded as official results, nor will you be eligible for age group awards or rankings. It is not necessary to send us emails to report results, but you are certainly welcome to share your comments with us.
7) As this virtual run is completely on the honor system, you are NOT required to submit your results, however we LOVE reading your stories of triumph, so please post your run at the above Facebook page.
8) We will send you an official finisher medal from our Inaugural HOT Run. These are gorgeous custom-made medals, measuring 3" across for the marathon, along with custom ribbons. Medals will be sent to virtual runners within 3-4 days of registration.
Thank you for participating in our virtual run - it will be very much appreciated by the local non-profits we support.
